Range in excel.

on

A range refers to a collection of two or more cells that are adjacent to each other. It can be a single column, a single row, or a rectangular block of cells. Ranges are used for various purposes, including calculations, formatting, and data analysis.

Types of Ranges:

  1. Single Cell Range: A single cell, such as A1.
  2. Row Range: A selection of cells in a row, like A1:A10 (all cells from A1 to A10).
  3. Column Range: A selection of cells in a column, such as B1:B5.
  4. Rectangular Range: A block of cells, like A1:C3, which includes all cells from A1 to C3.

Using Ranges:

  • Data Manipulation: Ranges can be used for operations like sorting, filtering, and applying conditional formatting.
  • Charts: Ranges can define the data used in charts.

Selecting Ranges:

You can select a range by clicking and dragging your mouse over the desired cells, or by using keyboard shortcuts, such as holding down the Shift key while using the arrow keys.

Example:

If you have the numbers 1 to 10 in cells A1 to A10, the range A1:A10 represents all those cells, and you can use it in a formula to calculate their total:

=SUM(A1:A10)  // This will add all the numbers from cell A1 to A10.
